The Unnamed Reds Podcast

Let's talk about some of the things that are being said about the new promotions of Shawn Pender and Eric Lee to roles at the top of the Player Development chain within the Cincinnati Reds organization, and the perceptions that I saw a whole lot of yesterday when the moves were announced.

It's been a while since we've recorded an episode, and it's going to be a while until you hear another one. But we are going out with some good talk about the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds announced that Homer Bailey will return to the rotation when his rehab assignment was up. Well, that time is upon us and the right hander will return on Tuesday. What does that mean for the team? For the other players?

In this weeks episode we discuss the run that Billy Hamilton has been on, what the team should do with the trade deadline approaching, and particularly how they should approach the bullpen at the deadline.

The Cincinnati Reds have won 12 of their last 15 games, and 9 of their last 10. Things are going very well, but not everything is perfect for the organization right now, either. Doug and Brian discuss some of the good, and some of the bad things that are going on with the Reds right now.

The Cincinnati Reds have two rather big questions that need answering this summer. First, what do they do with second baseman Scooter Gennett? And second, what do they do with Homer Bailey?

In this weeks episode of The Unnamed Reds Podcast, Brian and Doug discuss the confusion that seems to be happening with "the plan", and how it seems to be a constant moving target that often changes overnight. They also dive into a little bit of 2018 Major League Baseball Draft talk.

The Cincinnati Reds announced two shifts this week. The first was that Homer Bailey would find himself pitching out of the bullpen instead of the rotation. The second would be that Jesse Winker will no longer be a part of the regular outfield rotation and is being moved to the bench.

This week Brian and Doug discuss the slump that Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is in during the month of May, and some of the struggles of the starting pitchers when it comes to keeping the baseball in the ballpark.

The Cincinnati Reds acquired Matt Harvey from the New York Mets last week for Devin Mesoraco. And they haven't lost a game since making the trade. We also talk about the hot streak that Scooter Gennett went on last week, and how the Reds should proceed with him moving forward.

In a solo episode this week, Doug talks about the offense turning around of late, Luis Castillo making an adjustment the last time he took the mound, down attendance, and Nick Senzel.

The first week of the post Bryan Price era is behind the Cincinnati Reds. Doug Gray and Brian Snow talk about some of the changes that have been happening. We also talk with MLB.com writer Jonathan Mayo about the Cincinnati Reds rebuild and how it compares to what other teams have accomplished in the past few years. He also gives some thoughts on Hunter Greene and his development.

The Cincinnati Reds fired manager Bryan Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins this week after a historically poor start to the 2018 season.

After a set of roster moves on Friday afternoon, and the release of the lineup, Doug sat down to record an emergency version of The Unnamed Reds Podcast to ask what the heck is going on down at Great American Ballpark because nothing seems to make sense right now within the Cincinnati Reds organization.

The Cincinnati Reds are out to a 2-8 start to the season and manager Bryan Price appears to be sitting on the hottest seat in baseball after a bevy of confusing moves over the first two weeks of the year.
